Mission No.2 Seal Tower (19)
From noble mtl dot com
The people who surrounded Shupea at the center tightly crossed their arms. Ewald took the fainting Shu Pea in her arms and held her head against her chin.
“It’s okay to fail.”
Ebalt spoke calmly, feeling Shu Pea’s heartbeat in her arms. Supea, who had been breathing calmly, nodded her head with difficulty and leaned her head against her Ebalt’s arms.
The sound of Ewald’s heart was gently conveyed to Shupea’s face. With the throb of her heart sinking, Supea even felt a strange calmness in her.
However, Ewald hugged Speaa’s shoulders tightly with a determined expression.
“Now.”
“Help… Please.”
A golden protective shield was created that embraced the party. As soon as he could see the protective shield that had imprisoned the six people inside, Ewald began to draw an enormous amount of mana.
“Þungur vindur!”
Quaaagh!
A gale arose. Ebalt, who scattered wind-type attack magic all over the place, managed to raise his eyesight, which was shaking like crazy, and pointed at the ceiling. Along with him, the crazy wind that started spinning around the six people threw everything and turned the entire space upside down.
Debris that could not overcome the centrifugal force made a tremendous noise as they pierced the wall. Whether it was a man-sized rock or a stairway, everything that was swept away by the gust of wind was blown out.
However, Ewald pushed more mana. The winds entangled with each other and emitted a terrifying sound. It was then that the floor was engulfed in vibration.
‘Little bit more!’
Heard the floor Tiles, stones, everything that could come off began to lift. Objects throughout the space began to be torn and ripped off the floor and scrawled up into the air.
If you stay outside the shield, your entire body will be torn to shreds and you will die. As the huge air pressure difference made his ears go blank, Ewald glared at the ceiling and discharged his last mana down at his feet.
And the protective film surged up.
Quaang!
The ceiling was pierced. However, the protective shield, which had not lost its speed at all, pierced the ceiling above with the force of its rise.
Bang bang bang!
The shock that oppressed the whole body continued countless times. My body jerked over, but my speed did not decrease. However, every time he penetrated each layer, Ewald spewed blood as mana gnawed through his body.
Ewald gritted his teeth. I have no intention of stopping. It doesn’t matter if his brain melts. Enveloping Shu Pea in his arms with all his might, Ebalt threw down the crazy mana at his feet.
In an instant, while piercing through several layers, the protective shield began to visibly weaken. The protective shield has faded enough to be clearly distinguished even in Ebalt’s blood-stained vision.
Almost there. Please hold on until then Ewald glared at the shield with bloodshot eyes.
“Please!”
Blood vessels burst from Ewald’s eyes. At the same time, Shupea’s protective shield was shattered. But like a curse, a ceiling appeared above Ewald’s head. If you hit it like this, everyone will die.
Ewald hastily summoned the spear of light.
“Eldingar spjóti!”
Ewald’s brain twisted. Fantasy-like geometric shapes floated all over Ewald’s field of vision. It was a proper mana runaway. But without hesitation, Ewald shot the window of light formed around him toward the ceiling.
As soon as the sound of something exploding with a tremendous flash penetrated my ears, the ceiling exploded upwards. The spear of light, launched according to Ewald’s will, instantly shattered the ceiling and scattered into the air. Ewald, who did not have the mana to maintain that level of creation, witnessed the pitch-black darkness that appeared on the other side of the ceiling.
It’s out.
Finally outside
But when the wind of magic lost its momentum, the surge of power quickly fell. The six people who escaped from the ceiling on the top floor could not go up any further and quickly stopped.
The vertical momentum disappeared and the six people who were caught in gravity began to fall down. However, Ewald had no more mana to extract. No, it was as if the completely infested brain was beginning to melt.
Ewald closed his eyes as he felt his sight blurring.
‘… Am I wrong?’
And Shupea’s lips were sweet.
“Nunc libera nos.”
Magic word?
No. There was no sign of magic or mana at all. Ebalt’s head was dizzy from the hazy sensation, but he felt something vibrate within Speaa, small but heavy.
When Shupea’s unconscious words reached the air, something warm emanated from Shupea.
“Obsecro, domine mi. Ne confundas nos ire.”
Like a gentle breeze in spring, something as sweet as a mother’s lullaby enveloped the six of them. A white light supported them as they fell.
“Nec me solum.”
The softly redirected light wrapped around like a breeze, catching people. The light, which began to move away from the tower very slowly, embraced everyone without missing a single person.
“Hospitium meum, in matutinis.”
And tears flowed from Priest Speaa, who held Ewald’s chest tightly in his arms.
“Libera me.”
* * *
“La, Lahaf-nim.”
“Quietly.”
Quaang!
The man, crushed by something, clung to the floor. He let out a painful moan as she couldn’t move a single finger, but the girl opened her eyes and slowly lifted her upper body off the bed, smiling faintly.
“Is it Clona?”
The girl crossed her legs while sitting in her chair. Her man was lying in front of such a girl with her limbs attached to the ground.
“You’ll be able to move your mouth, so make up an excuse, Felix.”
“Lahaf-nim, please forgive me.”
Instead of forgiveness, a metal spear pierced the man’s back.
Kwagak!
“aaagh!”
A man called Felix screamed. Red blood splashed onto the girl’s face. But the girl didn’t even think to wipe it and she smiled strangely.
“Are you Clona? It seems you didn’t even intend to listen to me telling you to get rid of them all, did you?”
“Lahaf. No, Rahaf-sama.”
“No?”
Quack!
Felix’s scream broke out again. The girl named Raha Fra, who had kicked the spear in Felix’s back, drew her cold face closer to Felix.
“What do you mean it’s not? Are you trying to tell me I heard it wrong?”
As if handling a toy, Rahaf pressed down on Felix’s back. The dull sound of her ribs breaking exploded dismally.
“Lahaf, please forgive me… !”
“Explain why you need to forgive.”
“Eh, I found a way to find Ebalt!”
A look of doubt appeared on LaHaf’s face.
“Really?”
At the same time, Rahaf stepped off Felix’s back. Looking at her back, which was oozing with red blood, she licked her lips, and she slumped back in her chair with a groan.
“You sound like leaving Klona behind and finding Ewald are compatible?”
“Because with Klona, we can find Ewald!”
Ewald.
At that word, Laharp frowned slightly and pulled out the spear that pierced Felix’s hand.
Her blood spurted out with a click, but Laharf, licking the blood off her fingers, sat back down in the chair and crossed her legs.
And Laharp let out her enthralling voice.
“Please explain.”
* * *
Ewald looked down at his hands.
He clenched and opened his fists, and he felt strange at his strange refreshing feeling. Obviously, his brain was on the verge of exploding due to the runaway mana, but he was moving his hands normally.
Besides, his body is light. His ankle, which had fully turned, was as light as ever.
While looking around him with a dumbfounded expression, Balt noticed something missing when his party came out. Everyone wasn’t normal, but priest Shupea was sitting in the Odokani seat, hugged tightly by Ebalt.
Clearly covered in scars, she had a dumbfounded expression like Ewald.
“… Supera?”
Ewald, who was looking around for Shupea, who fit comfortably in his bosom, smiled involuntarily.
“Thank god.”
“Ugh!”
“I’m so glad.”
Shupea’s face brightened. Pushing Balt’s breasts with her arms, she swung her body around and took her eyes away from Ewald, but the nape of her neck was red hot and she hung her head down, breathing heavily. It started.
Supea, who didn’t know what to do with her body at her embarrassment and rummaged in her arms for a long time as if she was trying to smoke a cigarette, grumbled with her bright red face.
“Everyone, why are all the cigarettes running out and making a fuss?”
But Ewald, who had no idea why she was suddenly making that expression, raised her body strangely lightly.
It’s refreshing. Her whole body felt refreshed as if she had just woken up from a good rest. Her entangled mana is also in a very calm state. Ebalt moved her body with a strange but refreshing feeling.
Ewald immediately started looking at the other party.
The rest of the group were all down. One lanky outsider was also lying on the floor, completely disorganized. However, unlike Ewald himself, the wound was still intact.
He was weird
Why did he and Supea’s wounds all disappear? And why are others left as broken? Besides, why did the party end up out of sight of Zendwig?
But what bothered me the most was the strange words that came out of Shupea’s mouth.
It certainly wasn’t magic.
However, there was something strange about divine power. Because it was like having a will. It was a force that was caught up in a moment, but Ewald remembered exactly how it felt.
At that time, a great vibration occurred from far away.
The shock, which shook the ground once, disappeared in a moment, followed by a tremendous flash of light. A dazzling pillar of light that could be at least a few thousand meters reached high in the sky.
“… Zendwig Toum.”
It is in the direction of Zendwig toum. Ewald’s arm gave goosebumps as he imagined that even if it was just a little too late, he would have been sucked into the demon realm with that light and exploded.
But first, you need to take care of your companions.
Ewald untied his backpack. Having pulled out his basic tools, Balt began to bandage the wounds of his men with his deft hands. Spaea, who had been staring blankly at Ewald, came to Ewald’s side as if he had come to his senses only then.
Although he was a priest who could only use a protective shield, he was able to provide first aid. After helping Ewald and completing the first aid treatment, Shupea looked blankly at Ewald’s face again, then turned around in amazement. But Ewald did not see it.
“This is over.”
As soon as Ewald stood up, he drew a magical formula in his head that he fired towards Schheim. A detection magic, but also a notification magic with your own signature. Ewald, who recalled the magic that was united with his tenacity to find it no matter where it disappeared, spit out a magic word to track the magic.
“Uppgötva.”
It’s over there.
Ewald’s senses felt sharp traces of magic. Schheim had already gone so far as to be invisible, but Ewald, who had put magic right into its tail, could clearly sense its traces.
Ewald turned to where he felt the presence, quickly raised his hand and drew a line on the floor. However, it wasn’t long before the signs of magic completely disappeared.
It seems that it has already crossed 100 kilometers. Ewald let out a sad sound and took out a map from his backpack.
“North… Because it is over there.”
Ebalt, who created a light with magic, pointed the top of the map to the north and pointed his hand at the direction he drew.
The distance is over 100 kilometers. The place where the magic reaction disappeared was in the west-southwest direction. Ewald, who started at Zendwig Thum and drew a line down, reached the end of the map.
And Ebalt, who knew what his fingertips were pointing at, began growling ferociously.
“… Ha ha, this is crazy.”
The place where Ebalt’s lost continent’s best Schheim flew to was the Principality of Sarmus, which had invaded the empire with 10 second-generation Shuheim.
